Presentation
Artificial intelligence is not only changing teaching and learning. It is also changing the work students are preparing to do and exposing how poorly many inherited higher education structures fit both today’s learners and today’s labor market. This session offers a practical framework for institutional redesign, using the community college context as a leading-edge case for how colleges can rethink learner guidance, employer engagement, work-based learning, and credential pathways in response to AI-driven workforce change.
